On the rare occassion I can snap at people, and it’s usually at people close to me because they’re the only ones who have any power over me, so I’m more likely to get frustrated by them. Other people I can ignore.

I think the blog is mainly for me, as a record of my life, but if I was sure nobody was reading it I’d probably slack off. Which is why I don’t just write in a diary.

It’s funny, I think I agree that a cryptic blog post can be annoying to read. However it feels like the right thing to write in certain cases. Like when I’ve got something on my mind that I don’t know if it’s appropriate or worthwhile to discuss in detail, and so I just put something out there. And sometime it sparks a discussion and sometimes not. I was kind of hoping that all the people I’ve been an asshole to over the years would read it and think, hey, at least he’s not oblivious to it

As to the other person’s forgiveness, I’m sure it’ll be fine, but they’re under just as much stress so it’s not like I can expect them not to push my buttons sometimes. Whatcha gonna do?
